Borghese Splendore Baked Bronzer "Tocca De Sole"

Borghese Splendore Baked Bronzer "Tocca De Sole" -- I love Italian baked powder, so when I saw this one from Borghese, I was intrigued. I got this at a great price from Drugstore.com (I shop there often and highly recommend this site). This powder retails for around $38, and it got it on clearance for only like $18 USD.

The shade "Tocca De Sole" is too light for me to wear as a bronzer, but I can use it as a highlight or all over, finishing powder. They do make another darker shade, which I originally wanted, but got this one instead, mainly because of the great price. The powder is a pretty swirl of beige, copper and apricot. I will have to post a FOTD soon so you can see the finish -- it has some shimmer to it, but like I said, it does not add much color to the face.

The packaging is very nice; however, I expected it to be made in Italy, but it's made in the USA, so I'm not sure if it's is manufactured the same way as in Italy.

I love Estee Lauder's Double Wear, SIP Lip liners! I currently own "01 Pink", "03 Tawny" and "13 Tearose", which is a sample I received in a GWP. These lip liners go on very smoothly and they don't tug and they really do "stay in place", and are long-wearing. The Pink shade looks lovely with a sheer gloss and the Tawny is very versatile and can be worn with pinks and nudes and the "Tearose" is my fave right now; it's a gorgeous deep-toned rose with mauvey shimmer in it. Love, love! <3

I have been driving myself nuts lately, experimenting with different foundations. My HG has been Laura Mercier's Mineral Powder (and always keep in my collection). Many times, while in ULTA or Sephora, I would glance at the Becca counter, but never really tried her products. I was interested in the Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme, so one day, decided to take a gamble on it. I chose the shade "Noisette", which is a neutral-medium shade. The other two shades for medium skintone is "Nude" (medium w/yellow) and "Olive", which is a deeper yellow tone -- too deep for my skin, but would be great if you have a tan. I tried the "Nude", which is fine for me, but a bit too much on the yellow side. I have found that "Noisette" is perfect for me because it has a balance of yellow and neutral tones. I have to say, Becca has beautiful foundations and it's very easy to find a shade that works for you. Now, onto the formula. I really h…
